GALEN ON THE PULSES

The arterial pulse was a major aspect of all three major medical traditions - Western  Chinese
and Indian. Galen's extant works are the only significant account of Western views surviving
from ancient times. Not only does he set out his own views in great detail but he also gives a
large amount of information on the views of others whose writings are lost. In the translated
treatises in the present work  Galen deals with basic anatomy and physiology  classification of
the types of pulses  diagnosis of and from the pulses  causal factors of clinical relevance and
the very important matter of the prognostic value of the pulses. This is the first translation
into a modern Western language of Galen's very substantial body of work on this subject.
